Ipswich/Felixstowe: Port worker found guilty of manslaughter of 43-year-old stabbing victim

THIS PERSON DOES NOT WORK FOR THE PORT OF FELIXSTOWE


A FELIXSTOWE port worker has been convicted of the manslaughter of an Ipswich man who was stabbed 27 times.

A jury at Ipswich Crown Court today found 22-year-old Sebastian Kornjaca of St Anthony’s Crescent, Ipswich, guilty of killing Lee Jackson, of Chesterton Close, Ipswich.
But he was found not guilty of murdering the 43-year-old.
Mr Jackson died on October 22 last year at the flats where he lived after Kornjaca went to Chesterton Close in the early hours of the morning.
The qualified engineer went to confront Mr Jackson about a fire he suspected him of starting earlier the same night at his girlfriend’s father’s home In Coltsfoot Road, Ipswich.
During Kornjaca’s trial the court heard that among Mr Jackson’s injuries was a wound to his head which was delivered with such force that the tip of the knife broke off and was left embedded in his skull.
Giving evidence, Kornjaca - who denied murder - claimed he acted in self-defence after Mr Jackson attacked him with a knife.
